Anything that caught your attention while you were on the trip. This will help you deviate from the gloomy feelings

THINK ABOUT HOW YOUR VACATION ADDED VALUE TO YOUR LIFE:
Think about that time when the digital world was not constantly beeping through some amazing moments of your life. Think about those feelings of tranquility and peace you felt sitting on the beach. Pick up some good things from your vacation and try incorporating them in your life. Create a digital free time or a free time for introspection

MAKE A TRAVELOGUE:
Recreate the holiday magic through a photo album, photo collage or a detailed blog or write-up about your trip. Mention your experiences and feelings. Relive all those moments once again that are now somewhere frozen in time

SHARE YOUR EXPERIENCES WITH OTHER FAMILY MEMBERS:
This will help you feel good and positive all over again. Being around your loved ones and discussing your amazing vacation is always a great idea. Who knows, maybe new plans will crop up
